...call King "De Lawd." He does have an upper-air way about him, and, for a man who has earned fame with speeches, his metaphors can be downright embarrassing. For Negroes, he says, "the word 'wait' has been a tranquilizing Thalidomide," giving "birth to an ill-formed infant of frustration." Only by "following the cause of tenderheartedness" can man "matriculate into the university of eternal life." Segregation is "the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immorality," and it "cannot be cured by the Vaseline of gradualism...

With a relatively high $500-per-capita annual income, Trinidad could expect no great influx of U.S. or British government aid. But the U.S. came through with a pledge of $30 million over a five-year period for development projects, and has promised to build a road from Port of Spain to the U.S. Chaguaramas Naval Base. So far, despite Trinidad's own slight recession, industrialization is proceeding...
